Parashat Metzorah Shabbat HaGadol, the ‘Great Sabbath’ which precedes Passover, ushers in this season of miracles. The moving backstory of how this Sabbath gets its name, reminds us of our own mission – and challenge – to rise up in defiance of the woke agenda of the modern-day Pharaohs who seek to enslave our minds and subjugate our souls. As Passover approaches, the promise of true freedom and redemption beckons us all to take a bold stand for the One True G-d! ___ Rabbi Chaim Richman Jerusalem

Parashat Vayikra - Secrets of Leviticus: Sensitivity to the Sanctity of Life This week we begin our weekly Torah readings in the book of Leviticus, called ‘the heart of Torah,’ featuring the much-misunderstood Temple offerings, which teach man to be sensitive to the sanctity of all life….especially to human life, for man was created in the Divine image.

Parashat Shekalim: Only a Half Can Become Whole The construction of the tabernacle in this week’s Torah portion of Vayakhel was a work of the heart: Israel’s response in coming forward with the materials to build the sanctuary is described as ‘everyone whose heart motivates him; every wise-hearted person, everyone whose heart inspired him…’ – Why is this commandment, more than any other, seemingly dependent on the heart?

Parashat Ki Tisa Shema Yisrael: One G-d Acknowledged by the Whole World Is Torah study only for Jewish people, or can non-Jews access its wisdom freely? Is it permitted or forbidden? Is it merely tolerated, or warmly encouraged? There seems to be lots of confusion and many opinions. Jim Long and Rabbi Chaim Richman weigh in on this vitally important question, and look to the Torah itself and the prophets of Israel, to examine the relationship between Israel and the nations, and the role of Jews and

PARASHAT MISHPATIM This week’s Torah portion of Mishpatim (Ordinances) is firmly anchored in this very physical world…but yet, it is a perfect continuation of the thunderous, Divine Sinai Revelation. Torah was given for people to keep in this world! These commandments are an expression of G-d’s will for Israel to establish a just, caring society, and they infuse our everyday lives with the light of G-d’s presence. ___ Rabbi Chaim Richman Jerusalem Lights | Torah for Everyone Please support the work

Yitro, a man with seven names, was once the world’s most accomplished idolatrous priest…but his true sincerity, humility and integrity lead him to embrace the One G-d of Israel, and the inspiring tale of his life is the timeless story of a true iconoclast and hero…a role model for all those non-Jews who seek to cling to the G-d of Israel.

What is the significance and meaning that these Divinely-orchestrated wonders have for us today? Pharaoh is not just an ancient Egyptian king, but an archetype that still seeks to control us through fear and doubt.

Parashat Va'era The Torah portion of Va’era features seven of the ‘Ten Plagues’ that the Creator brought upon Egypt. Pharaoh, called by the prophet Ezekiel ‘the great alligator of the Nile,’ was the King of Denial – he denied G-d’s existence altogether. In this week’s episode of Jerusalem Lights, Jim Long and Rabbi Chaim Richman illuminate that the primary purpose of these plagues was to demonstrate G-d’s unparalleled power…it was about knowledge of G-d, not about punishment.

Parashat Shemot This week’s Torah portion of parashat Shemot (‘Names’) begins the Book of Exodus. In a flash, the generation of Joseph and his brothers have passed, and a new king arises in the land of Egypt ‘who did not know Joseph.’ The children of Israel ‘were fruitful, teemed, increased….and the land became filled with them,’ much to the chagrin of Pharaoh, who began to devise a solution to his Jewish problem – and thus began the servitude of Israel in Egypt.

Episode # 93 The Torah portion of Parashat Miketz focuses on Joseph’s meteoric rise to power. Joseph’s dreams earned him the enmity of his brothers, and the special garment that his father Jacob presented to him was a major source of their ill-will towards him. But the Torah’s secrets reveal that this was no ordinary coat, and the amazing backstory of Joseph’s famed ‘coat of many colors’ is the key to a deeper understanding of what Joseph’s descent into Egypt and his separation from Jacob was really

This week’s Torah portion of Va’yeshev introduces the young Yosef and we witness the treachery inflicted upon him by his own brothers, and his descent into the idolatrous, licentious darkness of Egypt. Yet throughout his ordeals, Yosef never for an instant lost sight of G-d’s
